Description

Sticky String Operation

The method to choose a destination 

server for a string result; derived from 

the settings of the string criteria 

commands. 

Sticky Mask

The subnet mask used for stickiness. 

The default is 255.255.255.255.

Sticky Inactivity Timer

The inactivity timeout period on a 

sticky connection for a content rule 

before the CSS removes the sticky 

entry from the sticky table. The default 

value is 0, which means this feature is 

disabled. 

String Range Start 

The starting and ending byte positions 

within a cookie, URL, or URL 

extension from a client. By entering 

the range of bytes, the CSS processes 

the information located only within the 

range. The default starting byte 

position is 1. 

String Range End

The default ending byte position is 

100. 

String Prefix

The string prefix located in the sticky 

range. If you do not configure the 

string prefix, the string functions start 

from the beginning of the cookie, URL, 

or URL extension, depending on the 

sticky type. If the string prefix is 

configured but is not found in the 

specified sticky range, load balancing 

defaults to the round robin method. 

The default has no prefix (  ).

String EOS Character

The ASCII characters as the delimiters 

for the sticky string.
